my baby is 6 weeks old and i noticed he hasnt pooped well today all day he didnt and i was told to give him 1 ounce of…

Is he breastfed?

One day is normal he's only constipated if he poops hard little balls

no its powder milk

usually he poops 2-4 times

i called his doctor and was told to give him 1 onz of water and he did poop i did it again and he hasnt pooped 😔

My daughter didn't poop 2-4 times everyday at that age.

They may have to change his milk

They slow down on pooping the older they get. He may go a few days without pooping at all, and that's normal as well. but like @xoamac its only constipation when its hard balls & he's straining a lot and crying. @nena214

u think so? but he drinks it and he still eating even tho he isnt pooping

well honestly he hasnt cried out of the normal he usually does and when he did poop earlier today it was not hard just regular actualy kinda watery not so watery but regular i can say and he hasnt sleept as much as he usaully does tho hum...

Yes. It's ok if doesn't poop every day :)

Every baby is different.

so hes okay then ? i thougt newborns suppuse to poop alot daily

i guess i can wait till tomorrow if he doesnt poop again ill take him to his doctor ¿?

Now I don't know about going a few days without pooping. My daughter pooped between 1-2 times a day in the beginning. She had a hard time getting it out before and it was hard. I was told to make sure to mix her formula really well and make sure we're not accidentally giving her a little too much formula versus water.

He's not constipated then. & he's gonna stop sleeping as much too and start being awake more, its all completely normal. The doctor isn't going to change his formula without a good reason, bc it takes time to adjust to the new proteins and it could actually make him constipated. So I would leave the formula alone. But like I said they can go a few days without popping at all and still be fine. Sounds like he is perfectly fine and doing everything normal. @nena214

right! my sister and sister in law said try to give them a little more water in thier formula and ive tried it ima keep doing it see if that helps also

@kbrown91, yeah true i dont want to get his formula switched i was just a lil worried he hadnt pooped all day till i was told to give him water and he pooped and yes he hasnt sleept alot like he usually do i guess im just worrying to much he is my first baby 😍😍

Completely understandable lol. I was like that too with my first baby! & I have 4 and still worry. 😉 @nena214

you should do some research about newborns having increase water in take. just gunna leave this here.
